Joshua Dysart On Comic Book Creation

Comic book writer Joshua Dysart from Marketplace on Vimeo.

Joshua Dysart, writer of the comic 'Unknown Soldier,' describes the creation process here, from script, layout, ink, coloring, etc...

Great comic, I highly recommend it. The series is only 11 issues old now I believe. Takes place in Uganda, centered around the armed conflict there with Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, their child soldiers, and all that terrible jazz.

Found this video of Dysart's blog, here.

Also, 'Unknown Soldier' was written up in the New York Times. Read the article here.

Getting Outdoors - Backpacking!

Hello folks.

Sorry it's been a while. Well summer's been cruising along and I still haven't done much camping/hiking/backpacking. But I just read Kristof's editorial on the matter, and he pointed me to some helpful resources:

Backpacker Magazine has a lot of helpful resources, such as nearby trails, skills 101, and gear.

Joe's Ultralight Backpacker Website is a friendly low key place with some more helpful advice.

And lastly, this guy Brett has a blog which is pretty cool. Here is a gear list he recommends.

Well I now have the information. I need to get some gear and pick a trail. Probably taking an experienced friend would be a good idea.

I'll be a backpacking master in no time friends!
